Rim/Wheel options
So, 3.5 years and 86,000 miles later - my steelie rims are really starting to rust on my 2005 LX I4. Currently have Michelin Primacy MXV4's at 205/65/15 at about 6/32
I'm looking at my options and figured I'd ask for a 2nd opinion...
1. Thinking some good old sand paper, black rustoleum, and clear coat spray paint
2. Thinking about 15" rims from HandA (not sure if I'm allowed to link) - if so I'll edit and link. Wanted to know if the weight difference will effect brakes
3. Thinking about moving to a 16" rims from HandA (again with link) - I used the tire comparison link in the sticky and found taht 205/60/16 would be a great way to go (and possibly give me a slightly sportier ride)..Effect on brakes?
Thanks.

Looking at the custom 15" cause its on sale. $96/rim - OEMs are $178 each - plus more on shipping (weight)... now If I can find someone on here - or craigslist that has OEMs for less - I'd certainly consider that.
These are the 15" custom...
